Currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. So far, so good.

Dear readers of this blog,

I know you are out there...somewhere.

I wouldn't blame you if you have no idea until now that I had a blog. I conveniently forgot that for 6 years myself, and I haven't updated this since 4/20.

Well, that being said, let's get to business:

I was accepted to the Professional stem of the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program at BYU.

I am currently training for Ironman St. George, to be held on 1 May 2010 in, you guessed it, St. George, Utah. I welcome all who wish to come watch me endure voluntary punishment. But I love it, what can I say?

I have an olympic distance triathlon in Coeur d'Alene, ID, this Saturday (Aug 8). For those of you not in the know, that is a 1-mile swim, a 25-mile bike ride, and a 6.2-mile run. I hope to beat 2 hours and 45 minutes, but the closer to 2 hours 30 minutes, the better I'll feel. Actually, the better to 0 hours 0 minutes, the better. This is a race, after all.

The week after I will be in Provo, UT, competing in the Utah Half Ironman. That is a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride, and a 13.1-mile run (a half marathon). I want to break 6 hours, but I think 5 hours 30 minutes just might be in reach. We'll just have to see!

My running lately has been getting better, which is nice since I've kind of focused on that. It takes me 2 or 3 miles to really get going, but then I can get closer to a 7:30 mile pace, and that feels really nice.

Long blog posts are annoying to read, and since it's really a narcissistic form of communication, I am sure that most people lose interest unless they have a particular interest in the person or the post is humorous.

Fin.

It seems to me that women like men with foreign accents. Therefore, I am of the opinion that I should move overseas.

Discuss.

To be quite honest with you, I didn't think that I would be able to find my old blog again. Well, 5 1/2 years later, I found it! Boy, does that make me feel old!

Since my last post a lot has happened in my life, and to be quite honest, I'm not too inclined to provide details at 2 AM. Let's just say that when I'm stuck in Coeur d'Alene this summer, I might have much more free time to blog.

Yeah, that's all I got for ya right now.
